Things I Read This Week - January 17th, 2014

So I’ve been trying to be productive this week but I’ve had a cold, that thanks to my loving boyfriend has been sedated with that stuff idiotic types use to make meth. All the good stuff these days requires a driver’s license, heaven forbid you have to take above the normal dose to sedate your symptoms as well. You might as well do a dance on the DEA’s lawn.

This week has been an emotional roller-coaster for me, ending on a rather craptastic note thanks to familial difficulties. I’ve mostly drowned my sorrows with The Daily Show & @Midnight. (Chris Hardwick is just too damn cute for words. I have a crush…sorry babe. :* )

Jezebel’s article on a male Redditor who couldn’t handle online dating under a female psuedonym for more than two hours. Suddenly he learned we aren’t just making the harassment up! Because apparently we can’t be taken at our word. This one gets filed under, “for use when people say stupid things about online dating” and “no shit sherlock.”

This is probably the most serious article I will ever link here, but it’s an issue that hits home for me. Huffington Post did an article on the price of blind patriotism, helplessness and it’s effect on our troops. It is something I think every American should read and digest.
